Just like I previously mentioned. Duchess Sophie, his mother doted on Jonas more than Rudiger. That is why he's incapable of realizing the true meaning of his emotions. In short, lack of affection so that's why he's so weird around the MC. Since he can't properly display the right kind of emotions. He genuinely likes her at the beginning but does not realize it until later when Judith our MC will help him.
I’m sorry your grammar was very confusing so I couldn’t make up of it but I tried understanding it nonetheless. You’re saying that I stated that the current duke is the father of Jonas’ father ( what???? ) and that ( who??? which?? ) was adopted after he found out that he tried to kill the current duchess and the duke killed him because of that… ( that’s what I could make out of it .. )
First, please re-read my statements ! I did not state anything that Jonas was a legitimate son of the current Duke of Winterwald. He is in fact, adopted. Jonas’ father is unknown and Jonas is a result of a one-night-stand. The current Duke of Winterwald did kill Jonas because killing the Duchess was one of the reasons.
Duke ( Rudiger Winterwald ) = Our ML in this manhwa
Aunt ( Judith Maybaum ) = a side character in the novel, Luca’s blood related aunt
and our FL in this manhwa
Luca = The ML of the NOVEL, our FL, the aunt transmigrated to.
Jonas = Luca’s biological father and the blond “brother” of Duke Rudiger.
Duke = I forgot his name but he’s the current Duke of Winterwald
Duchess Sophie = a loyal maid of Princess Vanessa, The Duke’s Wife and first love.
Princess Vanessa = Jonas’ biological mother, the former king’s daughter
Franz = antagonist of the novel, wants to take over the Winterwalds’ duchy / land
> Luca did really go back in time. The cup that grants wishes mentioned previously is what he used in his past. “ I wish everyone would gain happiness “ but instead it turned back time. The reason that this time Luca brought his Aunt Judith with him is because she secretly gave Luca a portrait of Luca’s biological mother.
> The sole reason that Luca’s aunt is mean to him is because Luca resembles his father. Judith did not hold any grudge against her sister. This is because Judith thinks that the reason her sister died is because of her shitty husband, Jonas. And Luca who looks like Jonas, fueled her abuse. Judith’s hate towards Luca vanished and transferred to Duke Rudiger/ the Winterwalds after Luca was taken away from her. ( This is because she realized I guess that Luca didn’t do anything )
> The reason Duke Rudiger was dead is because of both Judith and Franz. Judith tried to gain help from Franz not knowing that Franz wants to takeover the Winterwalds’ duchy. He was unable to kill Luca since Judith wanted Luca alive in the first place and this is also when Luca knew his aunt had genuinely cared for him secretly.
> The current Duke of the Winterwald ( not Rudiger ) is already aware right from the beginning that Luca is not blood-related. So is Luca’s father, Jonas. The duke does not care who becomes the heir to his duchy.
> Judith is the grand daughter of Greta or Margaret ( the former king’s sister ). Greta eloped with a commoner since he was handsome ( no fr its true ). This is why the former king became overprotective of Vanessa, who was Greta’s sister, because the former king thinks Vanessa will also end up like Greta. And she did “end up” like Greta because the former king was borderline overprotective. Greta eloped with the duke ( The Winterwald’s current Duke ) not because Greta loved him but it was the only way to escape from the King’s clutches since the Duke loved Greta’s maid named Sophie. Sophie is the current duchess of the Winterwald.
> Vanessa was very promiscuous and would sleep around until she got pregnant. Assuming it was one-night-stand, she was not able to know who the father of her child. When she gave birth to Jonas, she regretfully died. And that is why Jonas ended up with the Duke and Rudiger at the same time as “brothers”. In short an illegitimate son.
> The reason why Duchess Sophie doted on Jonas so much and less on Duke Rudiger is because Jonas looks so much like Vanessa. And Sophie who was very loyal to Princess Vanessa is the main reason why she doted on Jonas a lot.
> The duke murdered Jonas. Although, he didn’t care who his heir was, as long as the heir was fit to rule, he didn’t matter if he was blood related or not. But Jonas did not fit that double standard. This is because Jonas was in short an asshole and a spoiled brat. He did not want to be a king in order to lead but for the benefits of it. ( e.g. living lavishly, treasure and other selfish things ) Jonas even wants to genuinely murder and kill Sophie, the duchess and thinks that she is an ‘eyesore’. The duke knew that Jonas would use the cup for his wish to become king.
